[QUOTE="plat, post: 925232, member: 74969"] They want your business so they're, for the most part, going to behave. I have no problems installing the major ones (DUMo, UCheck, DriverEasy, etc) for a look-see. Driver updaters had a bad rap in the past, but nowadays, you can use the better-known ones without cringing or diving for your on-demand scanner. Going online to search for drivers from their repositories may also provide them some user data. That's the "payment" for a free app. It might come down to whether to allow the program to actually install your driver/s for you, especially if it's a paid version. It's more convenient that way but does have a modicum of risk. Many recommend a system image in that respect. [/QUOTE]
